Wolf King (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Make way
for the king's carriage!
Uh, maybe King Leopold might want
to show the people he's merciful.
Best-case scenario, you'll see your days
out in a Highcliff cell.
I hear they're spacious,
and the view's not bad.
Don't be scared.
You're the next queen, remember?
If anyone's safe from the Lions, it's you.
Ah! Time to fit your royal bracelets.
The king is coming,
and I need you looking presentable.
A precaution, my lady.
Never trust a Lion.
Or a Shark.
Ah.
Still choosing the hard way?
You chose this, not me.
Do as I say, and your friends
might just get out of here unharmed.
And once we're on dry land?
That's up to you.
What are we waiting for?
Drew needs our help.
Look around you. We're in the capital.
A rescue attempt is far too dangerous.
- And leaving him to the Lions isn't?
- Whitley!
Uh
I'd listen to your father, Lady Whitley.
There's not much
the old Bear doesn't know about strategy.
Thanks, but I have a friend to save.
Only a fool would dismiss the Staglords.
Two of the Wolf's fiercest allies.
Manfred, are we glad to see you.
Mikkel
Stay back!
Leopold.
Mikkel! Where are you going?
Your Majesty. It is my honor.
You? Honor? Where are they?
Fetch your bride, boy.
About that reward
Mm. I believe this will suffice.
Uh it'll do.
Mm.
My darling Gretchen. Your ordeal is over.
Good luck.
You're welcome.
My apprentice too.
I'm staying. I won't leave you.
Stay out of trouble.
Who's gonna look out for Gretchen
if you end up in the cell next to mine?
Go, before they change their minds.
So, this is the fabled Drew Ferran.
You're no Werelord.
Nothing more than a mongrel
in Wolf's clothing.
Forgive me, Your Majesty,
but this prisoner
is worth more than the others.
The return of my home,
the Cluster Isles, is a fair price.
Tell me more
about this fair price.
Are you stupid enough to think
that an act of piracy
would erase your old betrayal?
You'll get your Cluster Isles
when you show lasting loyalty
to the Crown.
And you,
on the morning of the royal wedding,
you will be executed.
There, there, dear.
Move out!
Halt the carriages!
What do you think you're doing?
Keep moving!
The road is blocked, Your Majesty.
Put your back into it.
Come on. On three.
One, two, three.
Come on!
This is Mikkel's doing.
I shouldn't have let him out of my sight.
Manfred, wait.
Whitley! Come back here!
One, two, three. Come on!
Shh.
Be still. Be quiet.
Quick, boys. Get it unhitched.
- Where are you going?
- Don't you wanna know what's going on?
What if it's dangerous?
I mean, you need my protection. Stay back.
Hm.
No!
Ambush! Secure the prisoner!
Gretchen, get down!
- Ambush!
- Run!
Take cover!
Pull back!
Oi!
Oi! Come back!
Whoa!
Drew! Hold on tight!
Whitley?
Just hold on!
Drew!
What? Oh, Whitley.
Only you could rescue me
and give me concussion.
Yep. No time.
Thank you.
- What?
- With me, boy. Move!
Go, Drew. Run!
Get her!
No!
- Drew!
- I have to go back. I'm not leaving her.
Let her go!
I surrender. Call off your dogs.
You're the dog. Nothing more than
a mongrel. I should have you whipped.
Stop! You won, Lucas.
It's over. Please.
Can't we just look forward to our wedding?
I didn't start this. He did.
Enough! Lock him up!
What about her? She did this.
Yes. I know just the place for her.
How could you let Leopold do this to me?
You're lucky to escape
the same sentence as Drew.
Sending me to the ladies' quarters
is a death sentence.
Who knows. It might even do you some good.
Your Grace.
Enjoy the view.
What is this place?
Mum
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Are you hurt? Who did this?
It wasn't me, Dad. I'd never hurt her.
I'd never hurt anyone.
Please, believe me.
I wish none of this had ever happened.
Hey, hey. It's okay, son. It's okay.
It's okay.
You believe me don't you?
There, there.
You're okay.
No!
What?
Where did you come from?
Where's Lucas? Are you okay?
He was pretty mad.
I'm fine.
It seems he has no interest in me
beyond posing for the crowds.
- And my money, of course.
- Yes.
He's in a good mood, actually. Yeah.
He's out commissioning a wedding song.
- Well, that's romantic.
- It's called "The Fall of the Wolf."
Or not.
No chance of you changing
his mind about Drew, then.
Have you ever known me
to give up that easily?
Poor rat. Never stood a chance.
Duke Bergan.
Sit, lad. Rest yourself.
All I do is sit or lie
or scare away rat after rat.
You won't see another night in here,
on my honor.
No! Don't try to rescue me.
Forget any promises you made.
It's not over.
With respect, it is.
- Drew, I--
- I can't let anyone else get hurt.
I won't. Not for me.
You expect me to do nothing?
There is one thing.
My dad, Mack Ferran.
If you ever find him,
tell him I didn't hurt Tilly.
When that day comes,
he will know the truth.
If Lucas thinks I'm playing bridesmaid,
he's got another thing coming.
Oh! Your Majesty.
I'm Whitley of Brackenholme.
I'm honored to meet you.
- How enchanting.
- Hm?
Uh
I've been sent here by King Leopold.
Well, more like banished.
How enchanting.
It must be very distressing,
seeing what the king is planning for Drew,
for your son.
Do you know what the king is planning?
Queen Amelie?
What have they done to you?
This is the portrait
Father commissioned for my birthday.
Mm.
These carvings are priceless, of course.
And that's the mighty Werefox.
Once we're married,
I'll have her moved next to the Lion
so she can gaze at his impressive mane.
What's wrong?
I thought this was what you wanted.
I'm sorry.
I'm just thinking about tomorrow.
Don't you think it's a shame
to spoil our wedding with an execution?
No. The sooner I rid your mind
of that mongrel, the better.
Do you know what this is?
The key to his kennel.
I could have him put down now,
if you'd like.
That is so sweet of you,
but, um, I'm just being silly.
Um, I want people to be talking
about my dress, not the Wolf.
Oh, he'll soon be forgotten.
And all you need to do
is sit and smile
for the rest of your life.
Um, is is your portrait quite straight?
'Cause it looks a little off.
Is it?
We can't have that.
Mm.
Come, my prince. Let's continue.
This is a bad idea.
If I get caught in here, we're history.
Do you want to save Drew or not?
As I feared, it's enchanted.
Well, is there an antidote?
Look, if we can wake her, she can help us.
She's Drew's mother and the queen.
She might be able
to change Leopold's mind.
H How enchanting.
She's our only hope to stop the execution.
No pressure, then.
What?
How did you get in here? It's not safe.
Leopold really ought to pay
his guards more.
Why are you here?
Shh.
Take it. The guards change at midnight.
- That's your best chance.
- No!
Do you have any idea what will happen
to you if Lucas finds out I'm gone?
I can handle Lucas.
The Lions are merciless.
They'll kill you all.
The only way I can keep you all safe
is to do as they say.
Take it.
Get some sleep, Princess.
Big day tomorrow.
What is that?
The Lion's new toy.
What of Mikkel?
He confessed.
They've got him in a cell on his own.
At least he tried. What have we done?
With more men and more time, we--
We have neither, Bergan.
Mm.
- You!
- Hm?
This is all your fault!
Oh, look, the noble Bear.
You made a promise to protect the Wolf.
We all did.
And some of us paid dearly for it.
I lost everything.
Until today.
I hope the king
paid you well for your betrayal.
Not nearly well enough.
So now what?
You've come to teach
the slippery Shark a lesson in honor?
Oh, no.
Honor's lost on you.
I'll settle for wiping that smirk off.
Is this really necessary?
Same old tricks!
Better tricks than you've got!
Oh. Get off, Bergan!
You'd like a Bear hug?
Oh, it's like my Stag night
all over again.
What's going on?
Gentlemen.
Remember where we are!
You.
Huh?
Bergan found you.
I've waited a long time for this.
